Q8. The top of a water tank is open to air and its water level is maintained. It is giving out 0.74 m3 water per minute through a circular opening of 2 cm radius in its wall. The depth of the centre of the opening from the level of water in the tank is close to: (1) 2.9 m (2) 4.8 m (3) 6.0 m (4) 9.6 m
What This Question Tests
This question applies fluid dynamics principles, particularly Torricelli's law and the concept of volume flow rate, to determine the depth of an opening in a water tank given the efflux rate.

9.3 — A Tank Is Filled With Water To A Height Of 12.5 Cm. The Apparent
Physics Class 12 · Chapter 9
9.3 A tank is filled with water to a height of 12.5 cm. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be 9.4 cm. What is the refractive index of water? If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index 1.63 up to the same height, by what distance would the microscope have to be moved to focus on the needle again?

Physics Class 11 · Chapter 8
8.1 Figure 8.5 shows a capacitor made of two circular plates each of radius 12 cm, and separated by 5.0 cm. The capacitor is being charged by an external source (not shown in the figure). The charging current is constant and equal to 0.15A. (a) Calculate the capacitance and the rate of change of potential difference between the plates. (b) Obtain the displacement current across the plates. (c) Is Kirchhoff’s first rule (junction rule) valid at each plate of the capacitor? Explain. FIGURE 8.5
